not to drag this out for both of you but YES to all of these things. I HATE talking about my career goals bc it's always met with resistance or laughter or just plain skepticism. I'm really not an adult capable of making decisions when I'm home. It's frustrating and difficult to stay positive but we've all got it!! We'll all accomplish what we want!

at this point i've given up trying to make them understand tbh i realized part of the issue i think at least for me is so long as i live with them i won't be able to fully assume adulthood

im not saying that living with your parents means ur a child but i've come to terms with the fact that the only way i can move forward in my goals is if i'm on my own

Oh my goodness, congratulations!!!!!!!

second person present tense u_u

lol. i’m here for it. i’m here for overthrowing the idea of third person narrative as superior through our personal tastes

Yay for the positives!!

I checked out their site after I made that reply and everything looks good, I appreciate the simplicity of their site layout and product explanations! I hope everything works out well for you, especially the lactic acid since I'm a fan of chemical exfoliation haha. Yes, please keep us updated on how it goes!!

Which products? I've heard good things about them but haven't gone and looked the brand up yet :o

I’ve heard so many good things, too, and after the last review I heard on some specific products + finally getting my paycheck (lol), I decided to try some!! I ordered Lactic Acid 5% + HA 2%, the “Buffet,” the 100% cold-pressed rose hip seed oil, and  Vitamin C Suspension 23% + HA Spheres 2%.

I wanted to try the Niacinamide 10% + Zinc 1% because I heard that it’s good for acne, but it’s out of stock so I might try that another time depending on how the four that I ordered work out! Their website (like the actual The Ordinary website on DECIEM’s site) has a chart listing pretty succinctly suggested time to use and what you shouldn’t mix certain products with. But they also have more detailed information on each product. And there are so many reviews on youtube n stuff.

I got the lactic acid because I’ve been interested in trying lactic acid, but figured I would rather try the lower concentration (they also have a 10% one) lol. The Buffet I kind of got just for fun because I don’t completely understand it but figured that that’s the cheapest a ~reduce the signs of aging~ product would ever be so why not try it lol.

They’ve got a lot of different Vitamin C options and I wanted to try one of them out. I initially wanted one of the lower concentrations/different formulations, but the specific one I wanted to try was sold out and of the options that were left I just decided on this one based on price lol. The main complaint I’ve seen about it is that since it’s a suspension it’s gritty and not really like a lotion, but I think I can deal with the texture thing.

I’ll let you know if any of it seems to be having any effect (or not) !

kiss kiss kiss. oh so oldest sister is moving home to do stuff i guess and i might come home for a while in the summer cos she wants me to help her do stuff i guess? and also parents like me (?? haha) so we can do shit like beaaaaaaach maybe

kiss kiss :( <3

obviously i am not COMPLETELY over it really but I will survive! I am trying to be positive. I am hoping that the contents of the letter will overshadow whatever they may think when they see a date IN THE FUTURE on the top of my letter. And at least it wasnt for my #1 district lol. and I got in that application for the one that was due today!
